I started my period at 14. Someone told me a long time ago, that I will start menopause early because of this…. Is this true?

There are no guidelines for when you start. It isn’t the same for anyone. If you are healthy you have at least thirty years, probably more, of having periods.
Not true.
Also, 14 is not late. It’s the normal time to start. Most girls start at 13 or 14.
14 is not late, but to answer your question. When a girl is born, her body has a fixed amount of eggs. It is not until she expells all of the eggs that she starts menopause. Unlike men, who produce sperm all of their lives, women have a limited amount of eggs.
I dont think 14 is late…. its pretty avg in this country…. the saying is if you start your period early you’ll start menopause early.
First of all, starting your period at 14 isn’t early. I started my periods when I was 11.
Secondly, there is no relation between when you start your periods and when you go through menopause. My mother also started her periods at 11 and she has still not gone through menopause. She is now 52 years old.
It’s just a myth.
